We were a party of six and we all just so enjoyed ourselves. The combination of the dinner followed up by the green room for dessert and drinks was just heaven. We will be back.

Reservation at 9:15, not seated till 9:45, server didn’t see us till 10PM. Took us 30 minutes from when we sat down to get a bottle of water. First starter chicken popcorn came out raw pink chicken and as sent back. At this point we were already fed up. Salmon main was good but the mushroom pasta was way too watery. Service on the night was very poor .

Isabella was my waitress and she was incredibly attentive and so personable. I am on a work trip and came to eat alone (the view is 100% worth it) and she was so kind and welcoming. The food was absolutely amazing. I got oysters to start, followed by the Wagyu and the mashed potatoes. I cannot overstate how amazing this place was. 10/10, highly recommend.
